Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very nicely done. The audio is clear and well balanced, and I donít think I heard a single background noise. The video is much the same way. Thereís some dark areas, but they work well for the movie and I wouldnít doubt at all that theyíre there intentionally. Thereís just a touch of grain to the video, which looks very good, and no wild camera motion to interfere with things. Psychotic is a very nice looking and sounding movie.

Music: The music is dark and eerie, but also rests very nicely in the background.

False Advertising: For the first time I know of since Internal Explosions (which came out in October of 2002), thereís no false or questionable advertising that I can see on the cover. Since itís been over three years since Anarchyís been able to manage this that Iíve seen, it definitely seemed worth noting here and is something I hope they can keep up in the future and extend to their Playing With... series.

Menus: The main menu has a cheesy feeling that worked together a clip from the movie and the choices, and just had a cheap feeling to it. The chapter menu keeps the cheap feeling, but lets you choose a scene based on the name of the girl(s) in each scene.

The Feature

Once she was just a normal girl. Then she went to college and everything changed when a pair of guys changed everything for her. Now sheís psychotic and out to make men pay for their sins. Nikkiís also not alone in being psychotic...

Scene 1 - Nicki Hunter, James Deen, and Kris Slater

James and Kris start things out taking Nicki, whoís wearing red net sleeves, a black collar, corset, hotpants, and boots, and pulling her across the room to a wooden cross. She resists at first until she gets into it a bit, and eagerly starts to suck their cocks as they talk about what a slut she is. She adds in some titty fucking as she sucks them before letting James have the first fuck from behind as she continues to suck Kris. They move across the room for James to ruck her ass from behind as well as getting in a little reverse cowgirl anal with Kris that quickly turns into a double penetration. They keep double stuffing her with Nicki eagerly sucking them clean until Nicki hops off and presents her holes to them for some pile driving. They also fuck her holes standing up before letting Nicki down to take a nice double facial and leaving her collapsed on the floor.

This scene leaves me with mixed emotions. Thereís a very dark feeling to the scene, and itís obviously there intentionally. Itís very well done, with Nicki and the guys playing into it extremely well. Nickiís pushed repeatedly through the scene, and thereís never a doubt that she isnít into it. The guys play into it extremely well also, and help turn what could be a horrible scene into one where you can a least appreciate it even if you canít get into it. I found myself in just that situation here, as I couldnít get into the scene too much even though I could look at it and think that it was well done with performers who seemed to be into it.

Scene 2 - Brandi Lyons, Cindy Crawford, and Marcos Leon

Brunette Brandi thought she was going to work her way through the top, but her boss had other things in mind such as her fucking her way to the top starting with him. Brandy starts out smoking a cigarette in a black suit with a red shirt having a touch of an Oriental look to it. As she walks into a devilish office, she sees blonde Cindy in a black rubber tube top and pants holding a snake as Marcos sits behind a desk. Brandi sits on the desk as Cindy comes up and has him take off his shirt, quickly dominating him as Brandi hops off, grabs him by the neck and lets Cindy put his belt around his neck as a leash. Cindy slaps his face with the belt, kisses her on the mouth, and then licks her neck as Brandi barks orders at him. They have him lie back on the desk as Cindy sucks his cock all the way down and Brandi has him suck her tits. Brandi moves back to briefly play with Cindyís pussy before coming up to suck Marcosís cock herself. She has Cindy get up and ride Marcos before rubbing Cindyís ass and climbing up to ride Marcosís tongue with each of her holes. Brandi gets up and has Marcos fuck her doggie style while Cindy puts her pussy in her face. Cindy takes things up a notch by adding a red glass dildo to her pussy while Marcos fucks Brandiís ass. They move him to the chair for a reverse cowgirl anal ride with Cindy before she eats Brandiís ass. Thereís a little talk of her fisting Brandiís ass, but the scene quickly moves back to the reverse cowgirl anal for Cindy with Nicki also showing up to guide the action a little. Finally, the girls get down and capture Marcosís cum on their faces and in their mouths before sharing one last kiss with each other.

This is a darn hot scene. Cindy and Brandi work the femdom aspect extremely well, and keep the scene moving along nicely. Marcos makes a good bitch, but heís so submissive and quiet that he almost held the scene back by being too small of a factor in the scene. Thankfully the girls were nice and vocal and Marcos kept a nice hard cock of this scene could have easily turned into a disaster. As is, I was more than happy with this scene.

Scene 3 - Brooke Hunter, Jack Frost, and John West

Dirty blonde Brooke learned quite a bit growing up on the street, especially escorting. She learned that men just want to fuck her, and that sheís sick of it. When Jack calls her looking for a good time, she arrives in a slutty black dress with a leather flogger and decides itís time for her to have a good time instead. She lays down the law and blindfolds him before letting him grope her tits and sucking his cock. When John arrives she decides to take on a second cock, and makes Jack sit back and watch as she blows John. Brooke lies back on Jackís desk for John to fuck her missionary style before rolling over and letting him take her from behind. Brooke has John move his cock from her pussy top her ass, and rolls to her back as he fucks it. Brooke even lets John pile drive her pooper before goes back to fucking her ass missionary style. When he moves up to pop, John moves off and Jack runs back in to pop on her face as Nikki arrives to encourage Brooke to take all the cum.

This scene left me with mixed feelings. Brooke is a woman who doesnít do a lot for me most of the time, but she got into this scene quite well. I really liked the domination aspect of the scene and how she made Jack watch as she took on John. The problem for me came in at the end. When John ran off only to have Jack come in for a single popshot, the scene pretty much bellyflopped for me. Itís something that doesnít even seem good idea that just went bad, and brought the entire scene down for me. This scene started off hot and ended up not.

Scene 4 - Tyla Wynn and Andrew Andretti

Just because Tylaís daddy gave her everything she wanted doesnít mean she likes men. In fact, she hates them and uses everything she has to take all their money. She dances on stage in a purple mesh shirt and black panties for guys just like Andrew, who can barely hold up his jaw as he watches her while stroking his cock through his pants. Tyla moves in to suck his cock before climbing up to ride it cowgirl style. She hops off to suck his cock and have him eat her pussy before moving back down to bounce on it again. Tyla lies back for Andrew to pile drive her ass before taking Andrew into her throat repeatedly and spitting back and forth with him. They move to the stage for Tyla to continue mouthing his manhood before they move into the shower for Andrew to nail her from behind standing up. Andrew moves on to finally tap Tylaís tushy as she lies on her side for him before bouncing on it in both cowgirls. Tyla makes sure to suck her ass off his cock, and Nikki arrives to add plenty of nasty commands before Tyla finishes things up taking a nice facial.

This is a pretty hot scene. Tyla and Andrew get into each other very well, and both put out some very nice energy. Tylaís trashy look seems great for this scene, but the scene did feel like it was dragging on a bit. The anal seemed to take forever to arrive, but once it did Tyla went with it just as hard and heavy as one would expect from Tyla. This is a pretty hot scene thatís only held back by its pace.

Scene 5 - Julie Night, Nicki Hunter, Alec Knight, and Travis Knight

When party girl Julie takes on the wrong guys, she canít ever go back. Nicki shows up in her sexy black and red fuck-me boots with a bit of black tape wrapped around her to wake Julie from inside her chalk outline and greet her with a kiss. She gives Julie a gift by wheeling in Alec and Travis, who put her in her previous condition, on a cart, and encourages her to slap and bite them while Nicki starts sucking Tylerís black cock. Julie helps her a bit before moving to the lower level to suck Alec, and both girls talk down to the guys and spit on them as well as licking it back up. They let the guys up and continue to suck them before Julie turns around to let Alec take her doggie style and Nicki turns around so Tyler can fuck her ass doggie style. Jule lets each of the guys fuck her ass from behind before Nicki takes her turn again impaling her ass on Alecís cock reverse cowgirl style and having Tyler join in on her pussy. As Nicki gets double stuffed, Julie sees how many fingers she can fit in her ass and even pours a little hot wax over her cheeks. Nicki breaks away from the guys to help Julie out with her play before letting the guys double stuff her cowgirl style as Julie gets up close to watch. The guys keep moving between the girls fucking them before Julie gets down to take a pop in her mouth from Tyler and to demand more. Alec grants her request before Julie swaps it down to Nicki.

This is a pretty hot final scene. Itís almost as dark as Nickiís opening scene, and Julie does a great job matching Nickiís intensity as well as her skill at getting her shitpussy slammed. Thereís plenty of energy once again, but once again the dark feeling held the scene back for me. Itís a well done scene, but just not something that worked particularly well for me.

Psychotic is a well done piece of dark porn. Nicki and Josh Hunter do a very nice job of keeping things dark, but not so dark that it completely kills the sexuality of the scenes. Thereís a great female domination aspect to the movie, and that aspect was handled very well and something I wish more directors would include in their movies. Cindy Crawford and Brandi Lyonsí scene with Marcos Leon was easily my favorite in the movie, but the other girls also do a very good job. Brookeís scene was probably the biggest disappointment for me, and thatís just because I really hated how the cumshots at the end were handled. My main problem with the movie was the dark feeling, which is something I can see making the movie one people will either really like or one that wonít do anything for them. Watching Psychotic was a bit tough for me because the dark feeling didnít do anything for me, yet the action was well done and showed some definite care. Psychotic is far from your typical porno, but itís well done and has a dark feeling one doesnít normally find in adult movies.

The Extra Stuff

The photo gallery lasts nearly three minutes with about five seconds per nice looking snapshot. Trailers are included for Shooters, Blasted, NarcASSist, Anal Life, and Johnys Vision, just like on almost every other Anarchy DVD Iíve checked out. Thereís also commercials and a behind the scenes featurette.

The behind the scenes featurette lasts over twenty minutes. Nicki starts things out looking wonderfully slutty and talking about using her snake in the movie. Thereís a little more talk about the snake before Nicki poses for a few stills and starts to get some dick. Cindy is next, who talks about her scene and loving porn before posing with the snake. Tyla is next, who gets a little guidance from Nicki and has a few words as well. Nicki returns to talk about a little reward after theyíre done shooting as well as how much she loves guys and how far she takes that love. She works with Julie a little about their scene, and even lets Julie talk dirty. This is a very nice behind the scenes featurette. Thereís a very nice mix of the scene being shot with the prep and interviews with the stars, and you get a fair amount of personality to go with it. Thereís also plenty of shots of Nikki working with the cast to let you know that the movie was directed by Nicki Hunter rather than by a suitcase pimp whoís just using her name.

Currently, may of Anarchyís DVDs can be found online for between about $10 and $25 with several stores offering them for under $15. If youíre a fan of porn with a very dark feeling, then Psychotic will probably be well worth the money, but others will probably want to rent it first or aim low. The sex is dark and nasty, and although it didnít always work for me at the same time it never felt poorly done. The technical aspects show some nice care, and thereís some decent effort put into the extras as well. This DVD wonít be for everybody, but itís far from crap.

Note to Anarchy: Although this one didnít work the best for me, itís easy to see why you put Nicki Hunter behind a camera and I hope you put her back there for a few more movies.
